SUMMER SET ASIDE
WARNING: The system should be kept constantly full of water even in periods in which the use of the wood burning
stove/cooker is not required. During the winter, inactivity must be faced with the addition of antifreeze.
After having cleaned the furnace, the chimney and the flue, ensuring total elimination of the ash and other residues,
close all the furnace doors and respective registers and disconnect the appliance from the chimney.
It is advisable to carry out the flue cleaning operation at least once a year; in the meantime, check that the seals are
in good condition as, if not perfectly intact, they do not guarantee good appliance operation! In this case, it is
necessary to replace them.
If appearance is to be maintained over time, protect the cast iron parts with neutral Vaseline.

CONNECTING A FIREPLACE OR OPEN HEARTH TO THE FLUE
The flue gas channel is the stretch of piping which connects the thermoproduct to the flue. In the connection, these
simple but extremely important principles must be respected:
•
under no circumstances use a flue gas channel with a diameter less that that of the exhaust clamp with which
the thermoproduct is equipped;
•
each metre of the horizontal stretch of the flue gas channel causes a slight loss of head which must be
compensated if necessary by elevating the flue;
•
the horizontal stretch must never exceed 2 m (UNI 10683-2005);
•
each bend of the flue gas channel slightly reduces the flue draught which must be compensated if necessary
by elevating it suitably;
•
The UNI 10683-2005 – ITALY regulation requires that under no circumstances must there be more than 2
bends or variations in direction including the intake into the flue.
If the user wishes to use the flue as a fireplace or open hearth, it is necessary to seal the hood below the entrance
point of the flue gas channel pos.A Picture 12.
If the flue is then too big
(e.g.
30x40cm
40x50cm), it is necessary
to
intubate
it
with
stainless steel tube with a
diameter
of
at
least
200mm, pos.B, taking care
to close the remaining
spaces between the pipe
itself
and
the
flue
immediately
under
chimney pot pos. C.
